What do you wear to a wake??

Being Jewish-- I don't go to many wakes. What do you wear?

Thanks...

Re: What do you wear to a wake??

today- in this heat

a black skirt with a black tank or t - shirt

it tends to be cold in there- I would put a sweater over your shoulder

I tend to wear black... although, anything that you would wear to work is fine... dress pants, skirt, etc...

Ok-- so dark tones, business-y and be prepared to be cold.

It's on Friday-- so, I am sure it will be just as hot.

You don't necessarily have to go with dark colors. Some people prefer to not wear dark colors so that the event isn't too morbid.
I always wear something I would wear to work.

Something you'd wear to work. I would NOT wear anything sleeveless w/o something over it.
